<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Paul,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Would you - or Gabrielle in your name - be able to circulate the info and link below (and attached) to your colleagues (and fill it in yourself)? It’s a survey about how they think the physics students feel about assessment and feedback.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As part of the TESTA project we are doing with the Physics Department, we would like teaching staff in the Department to complete a questionnaire about how you think the BSc / MPhys Physics students feel about assessment and feedback. Please
complete the questionnaire by <b>26<sup>th</sup> March</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The questionnaire is at: <a href="https://strath.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8f97ISv7GkrnGf3">
https://strath.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8f97ISv7GkrnGf3</a> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your response is anonymous, and the results will be used in the TESTA report that is confidential to the Physics Department. (We may also combine the data with that from other programmes for research purposes, but only aggregated data would
ever be reported). The TESTA report will be discussed in detail at a meeting later in the semester.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The purpose of this questionnaire is to provide some quantitative data that we can compare with student questionnaire responses in order to find areas of similarity and difference. Please try and give your impression of how students experience
the programme as a whole.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The questionnaire contains 34 relatively simple questions, and should only take 10 minutes max to complete. Thanks very much for your help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A summary of TESTA is attached. If you have any questions about the questionnaire, or the TESTA project more generally, please contact
